Definitions

  • the present invention relates to power supplies and power switches, such as those used to drive the discharges of laser systems.
  • logic circuits are easier to design and manufacture, and occupy less space, than RF analog circuits. It is also well known that digital microelectronic chips are less expensive than analog chips.
  • the RF power supplies used to excite the discharges of CO 2 lasers presently utilize analog power devices and analog circuits that operate anywhere in the 13.56MHz to 160MHz region.
  • the lower frequencies are used primarily in CO 2 lasers having free space mode resonators and larger diameter discharges.
  • CO 2 lasers that use wave- guiding between two or four parallel sides of a long laser cavity structure, containing the discharge use the higher frequency RF power supplies and have small separation between the electrodes (i.e., lmm or less).
  • Higher RF frequency discharges are capable of operating at higher gas pressures (i.e., greater than 50 Torr) that have the advantage of providing higher power laser outputs for the same size laser.
  • FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram illustrating an active RF impedance transformation circuit that can be used in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.
  • FIG. 2A-2D shows a series of timing sequences for "H" switch operation in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.
  • FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram illustrating an embodiment of the digital logic controller of the FIG. 1 circuit.
  • FIG. 4 shows a series of timing sequences for the logic circuits of FIG. 3 digital logic controller.
  • FIG. 5 shows a series of plots for signals of the HG. 3 digital logic controller.
  • a system in accordance with one embodiment of the invention utilizes fast semiconductor switches arranged in a power "H"-bridge configuration (also called a “power bridge”), capable of operation in the frequency ranges of interest, to provide efficient and low cost RF power to drive CO 2 laser discharges.
  • An "H"-bridge switch or “power bridge” arrangement is used with the aid of digital logic chips to amplify the output of crystal controlled RF oscillators, such as commercially available transistor-transistor-logic (TTL) oscillators utilized in the computer industry, to reduce the number of analog RF amplification stages and achieve the desired output power to drive laser gas discharges.
  • TTL transistor-transistor-logic
  • a TTL oscillator typically used as an RF oscillator in CO 2 laser RF power supplies, such as model OSC-XCO-52-D, puts out about 3mW at 100MHz.
  • An H-bridge switch utilizing four model 74CBT3125 Buss Switch devices operating from a 5V dc supply can amplify the 3mW output to approximately 56mW. This amplification can eliminate one or two RF amplification stages in the RF power supply driving the discharge of a IOOW output CO 2 laser.
  • the use of a MOSFET model L8701 preliminary amplifier increases the 56mW output from the H-power bridge to 5W.
  • MOSFET amplifier stage i.e., a Philip model BL:F177
  • IOOW IOOW
  • the addition of two ST Microelectronics model SD2943 devices in push-pull operation can amplify the output power to 500W of average output power (or IOOOW at 50% duty cycle). This is sufficient power to drive a 55W average power output CO 2 waveguide laser.
  • logic gates can provide numerous advantages over the use of analog circuits, including lower component cost, smaller size and fewer problems with spurious oscillation arising from the stray RF coupling normally associated with cascaded analog circuits.
  • Using digital technology can also reduce the required RF shielding and separation between the RF electronic components, which results in smaller size RF electronic packaging for the RF supply. This advantage occurs because the low level amplification stages are operating in saturation, as opposed to linear gain operation.
  • the RF frequencies normally utilized for driving the discharges of CO 2 lasers are anywhere from 13.56MHz to about 200MHz. Of particular interest is the frequency range from 80-100Mz for 30-500W laser systems.
  • the RF frequencies below 50MHz are used to drive larger cross sectional area laser discharges that tend to operate at lower pressures than smaller cross sectional areas discharges, such as in wave-guide or slab laser discharges. Discharges associated with wave-guide or slab lasers tend to operate at higher gas pressures (i.e., greater than 50 Torr).
  • an RF excited, diffusion cooled, sealed-off CO 2 laser has about 10% efficiency. Consequently, a IOOOW output laser can require a 10,000W RF power supply, while a 1OW output CO 2 laser can require a IOOW RF power supply.
  • the amplification of 3mW from the TTL oscillator to 10,000W requires a gain of approximately 3.3 million and a gain of 33,000 for the IOOW lasers. Any reduction in the required analog RF amplification can reduce cost and thus be beneficial in the marketplace.
  • a further advantage of utilizing Buss Switches in a H-bridge power supply, in addition to the ability of utilizing digital logic devices to control RF switches, is that the output impedance of the TTL oscillator (i.e., 320 Ohms) is compatible with the input impedance of the digital logic circuits, thereby eliminating the need for impedance matching circuits between the output of the TTL oscillator and inputs of the RF amplifiers.
  • the output impedance of the TTL oscillators generally is not compatible with the input impedance of high power FETS or CMOS devices.
  • the input impedance of high power RF semiconductor amplifiers typically is a low impedance (i.e., below 50 ohm).
  • the output impedance of the H-bridge is easily made compatible with the input impedance of these RF amplifiers.
  • a circuit in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention utilizes a combination of digital techniques to control a power H-bridge and an RF amplifier in order to obtain a conservative 5W of output power at frequencies of interest in driving CO 2 laser discharges.
  • the RF carrier is supplied by a conventional CMOS/TTL crystal oscillator that is passed through logic gates, causing the oscillator output to be turned on and off. Either continuous wave (CW) modulation or pulse width modulation of the laser discharge can then be implemented.
  • the RF gating is performed using a family of logic chips, such as those utilized in the computer industry, that have rise and fall times commensurate with the desired RF output frequency.
  • an exemplary RF amplifier design uses computer Buss Switches that are configured in an "H" bridge that operates at a desired RF frequency, such as at 100MHz. These Buss Switches are sufficiently fast to be useful up to 100MHz and higher.
  • the top left switch SB-I and the bottom right switch SB-4 of the "H" bridge are turned on while the top right switch SB-3 and the bottom left switch SB-2 are turned off, and vice versa, at the RF carrier frequency.
  • Activation in this manner causes the resulting bridge peak-to-peak output swing to be twice the voltage of the dc power supply. In one example, a 5V dc supply provides a 10V peak to peak.
  • the load impedance placed on the bridge can be significantly lower than a logic gate can tolerate, such as 50 Ohms verses 330 Ohms, respectively.
  • a step down transformer 16 can be used in the H-bridge to provide a closer impedance match to the typical VMOS or LDMOS transistors utilized for amplification to higher powers. With this topology, just a single stage of conventional RF gain can be used to obtain a 5-lOW output from a 3mW input.
  • a 'no output' or similar state can be used to ensure that both sides of the bridge are off, preventing excess power consumption.
  • a gating signal also can be applied to the gate of the RF amplifier to increase the gain of the stage when the carrier is "on” and cut off the device when the carrier is "off, thereby further reducing the self-oscillation tendency of the unit.
  • FIG. 1 illustrates an exemplary RF H-bridge power circuit 10 with an associated logic circuit controller 12.
  • the four electronic Buss Switches SB-I, SB-2, SB-3 and SB-4 included in the H-bridge are represented in the form of mechanical switches in order to simplify the presentation of the basic operating principals of the invention.
  • the output of a crystal controlled TTL oscillator 14 is fed to the logic circuit controller 12.
  • the oscillator 14 has an output of 3mW and an impedance of approximately 320 Ohm at a specific RF frequency (such as at 100MHz).
  • One function of a logic circuit 12 such as that shown in FIG. 1 is to turn switches SB-I, SB-2, SB-3 and SB-4 on and off in the proper sequence, so as to draw current from the dc power supply in a manner to approximately reproduce the RF square wave from the TTL oscillator 14.
  • the voltage out of the H-bridge 10 is approximately 10V (peak to peak) for a 5V dc power supply, which is common in digital technology.
  • Logic circuit controller 12 also has the capability of accepting an "enabler signal” that pulse-width modulates the input signal to the "H” switches, such that the output of the "H” switches is pulse-width modulated.
  • Pulse width modulation is a commonly utilized technique for varying the average output power of a CO 2 laser by varying the average input power into the discharge from the RF power supply, as will be explained in greater detail below in conjunction with FIG. 4.
  • Buss Switches SB-I, SB-2, SB-3 and SB-4 are arranged in an "H" power bridge switch configuration, as shown in FIG. 1.
  • An RF transformer 16 is connected as shown between switches SB-l/SB-2 and SB-3/SB-4.
  • the logic circuit 12 Upon the start of the first half cycle of the RF periodic wave from the TTL oscillator 14, the logic circuit 12 sends commands via signal S 1 to close switches SB-I and SB-4 of the H-bridge. This allows current to flow from the dc power supply (shown here as 5V) through switch SB- 1, from left to right through the primary of the RF transformer 16, and then through switch SB -4 to ground.
  • the dc power supply shown here as 5V
  • the logic circuit controller 12 commands switches SB-I and SB-4 to open via signal S 1 and then commands switches SB-3 and SB-2 to close via signal S 2 .
  • This process first stops current flow through the switch SB -I/transformer primary winding/switch BS-4 to ground path and then allows current to flow from the dc power supply through switch SB-3, from right to left through the primary winding of RF transformer 16 in FIG. 1 through switch SB-2 to ground. This action completes the first positive and negative portion of the RF square wave.
  • the ratio of the number of windings between the primary winding and secondary winding of the transformer 16 offers the designer the ability to perform impedance matching to the pre-amplifier 18 of FIG. 1.
  • the 320 Ohm output impedance of the TTL oscillator 14 in the FIG. 1 embodiment is transformed to a 12.5 Ohm impedance out of the transformer secondary winding of the "H" switch circuits, which is a reasonable match to the input impedance of the preliminary amplifier 18.
  • the transformer 16 tends to round off the corners of the square wave RF signal so that a distorted sinusoidal RF waveform is obtained to drive the preliminary RF amplifier 18 of FIG. 1.
  • the average power out of the RF H-bridge 10 was found to be 56mW. This power is sufficient to drive the preamplifier 18 of FIG. 1 in a high efficiency mode of non-linear amplification.
  • an efficiency of approximately 70% was obtained in a class C mode of operation.
  • With a class E mode of operation approximately about 90% efficiency was found to be possible.
  • a non-linear class of operation therefore, is desirable since the efficiency and power output of power amplifiers (PA) is enhanced.
  • an impedance transformation of the 320 Ohms output of the TTL to 12.5 Ohms for the input of the amplifier 18 also can be provided.
  • CO 2 lasers have about 10% efficiency in converting RF power into laser power out. Consequently, a 500W output CO 2 laser will require approximately 5000W of RF power.
  • To go from 3mW to 5,00OW can require an analog RF gain of approximately 4.7 million.
  • the "H" switch output of 56mW can be used to reduce the required analog gain to approximately 89,000 if a 5V dc power supply and (e.g., 74CBT3125 model) Buss Switches are used to switch at a 100 MHz rate. Even better performance in gain can be obtained at lower frequencies. Starting with the 5 W output from the amplifier 18, an additional gain of 1000 is needed after the amplifier 18 of FIG. 1 to achieve a 5,000 W output.

Abstract

L'invention concerne une puissance RF pouvant être délivrée de façon à exciter des décharges de systèmes laser au moyen d'une série de commutateurs à semi-conducteurs rapides disposés en configuration de pont H. Une telle configuration peut amplifier la sortie d'oscillateurs RF pilotés par quartz, au moyen d'un fournisseur de puissance basse tension, réduisant ainsi le nombre d'étapes d'amplification nécessaire tout en obtenant la sortie souhaitée aux fréquences nécessaires. Un amplificateur de puissance qui fonctionne en mode de rendement élevé peut servir de commutateur, convertissant ainsi un signal arrondi produit par un transformateur RF relié entre les deux bras du pont H en un signal de type carré, tout en fournissant la puissance de sortie nécessaire.
